Traditions Pursuit XT .50 Cal 26" Muzzleloader with 3-9x40 Scope

Traditions Pursuit XT .50 Cal Muzzleloader

The Pursuit XT represents a significant step forward in modern muzzleloading technology. This rifle combines proven engineering with practical features designed for both accuracy and ease of use in the field.

Barrel and Action

The heart of the Pursuit XT is its 26-inch chromoly steel barrel with VAPR 1:24 twist rifling. Chromoly steel has long been the standard for barrel strength and accuracy, and the faster 1:24 twist stabilizes a wider range of projectiles than traditional muzzleloader twists. This expanded bullet compatibility means you can experiment with different loads to find what works best for your hunting situation.

The barrel features a premium Cerakote finish that provides superior corrosion resistance and durability. The tapered, fluted design reduces weight without sacrificing strength.

Trigger and Safety Systems

The Elite XT trigger system delivers a precise, clean trigger pull that supports accurate shooting. The trigger incorporates a rebounding hammer and manual cross-block safety—a dual safety approach that gives you control over when the rifle is ready to fire.

Loading and Operation

The Pursuit XT uses 209 shotgun primer ignition, a reliable and widely available ignition system. The Accelerator breech plug works seamlessly with both loose and pelletized powder, giving you flexibility in how you load your rifle.

The included Quick-T Ramrod Handle functions as both a loading tool and a T-handle, making the loading process more comfortable and efficient. The ramrod features a screw-in brass jag for cleaning and maintenance.

Ergonomics and Handling

At just 5.75 pounds, the Pursuit XT is remarkably lightweight and maneuverable in the field. The wider forend provides a secure grip and better hand position for consistent shooting. Extended ambidextrous hammer extensions and a fast action release button enhance handling from either shoulder.

The Quick Relief recoil pad absorbs recoil energy, reducing felt recoil and improving shooter comfort during extended shooting sessions.

Optics and Accuracy

The rifle comes mounted with a 3-9x40 Duplex scope, boresighted and ready to shoot. Drilled and tapped receiver allows for scope mounting flexibility if you prefer different optics.

The Speed Load System promotes consistent powder charges and projectile seating, which translates to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics.
